The Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plug-in is the result of a collaboration between Fraunhofer in Germany and Sonnox in the UK. It uses Fraunhofer's MP3 and AAC codecs, amongst others, and enables real-time auditioning meaning that optimised mixes can be produced for the web, since it allows you to mix or master your music as you listen to the codec output !
Cool? We think so - and so do a lot of mastering and mix engineers and broadcasters.
